More fat bomb flavours

I tend to stick to these three simple ingredients in my keto fat bomb recipe. I think the cocoa powder gives it enough chocolatey flavor that it doesn’t need additional sweetener. However, you’ll find other recipes that do include a sweetener and you can use one if you’d like. Add in a keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit, stevia, agave, maple syrup or erythritol. Make sure to choose one with a powdered texture – sweeteners with granular or liquid textures will alter the texture of the fat bombs.

You can also try out different flavour combinations. Just swap out the cocoa powder for one of the ingredients below or try out a combination of flavours:

Blended nuts, like almonds, cashews or macadamia nuts
Vanilla extract
Coconut flakes
Frozen berries
Lemon or lime juice
Cherries
Cinnamon
Ginger
Pepitas
Peppermint extract

Frequently Asked Questions

What are fat bombs?

Fat bombs are high-energy snacks or desserts. They’re low carb, high-fat and sugar-free, and are typically made with coconut oil and nut butter. I like making my fat bombs with cocoa powder for a chocolatey flavour but you can try out different flavour combos. You can even swap out the sunflower butter for a nut butter like peanut butter!

What do they do for you?

Fat bombs will satisfy your craving for sweets while giving your body a big dose of healthy fats. They’re keto-friendly and will keep your body in a state of ketosis, which helps burn fat instead of carbohydrates. Because of all the fat in this recipe, you’ll feel full until your next meal without having to resort to carb-heavy foods.

How many should you have in a day?

These chocolatey treats are so delicious, but you want to make sure you don’t go overboard and eat too many – everything in moderation! In addition to being high in fat, these fat bombs are also high in calories, so make sure you don’t eat too many.

Storing fat bombs

Fat bombs can be kept in the fridge for up to 30 days. The coconut oil in them will get runny and they will become very messy if they get too warm, so make sure you store them in the fridge! Their long shelf life means you can make a big batch and always have some on hand to curb any cravings that come your way.

Freezing this recipe

If you want to meal prep these fat bombs for an even longer time period, you can freeze them. Pack them up in freezer-safe Ziploc bags or airtight containers and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat your fat bombs, let them defrost in the fridge overnight then dig in.
